Mother O’Neill: Widow of the Kimberley Goldfield by Yvonne Coate

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners.

Sarah O’Neill was a widow on the Kimberley Goldfield, in the 1880s, the same time as Russian Jack, the famous wheelbarrow man who became legendary throughout the goldfields of WA. Sarah led an even more fascinating existence in Halls Creek.

Her fortitude, inner strength and tenacity were a byword wherever she went. Yvonne Coate’s book brings to life this almost forgotten pioneer and the time and place she lived.

Beautifully illustrated in full colour it details Sarah’s life and the localities, with maps, photographs and artwork. (back cover)
